Miss Indonesia 2009

The new Miss Indonesia 2009 has been chosen.

The lucky girl was Kerenina Sunny Halim from DKI Jakarta.

But did you know that she can't speak a proper Indonesian?!

From what I know, if you represent your country (Indonesia in this case), you must speak your national language (in this case Indonesian).

She even need a translator to make her understand what the judges asked. (It is very shameful!)

Well that's the fact and this makes me keep thinking and laughing, why must she represent Indonesia while she herself can't even speak a proper Indonesian Language???!

Is it because she is pretty? Or what?

From the article that I read recently, she was half-American and she didn't go to a formal school. Her first plan is to learn Indonesian Language, culture, etc.

That's Cool =)

OK that's enough talking about the negative side of her, lets talk about her positive side.

After browse the net I found that she might be capable to do this, why?

1. She answer all the question calm and comfident.
2. Her answer short, straight to the point, but in a brilliant way.
3. She holds 6 diplomas (public relations, sales and marketing, primary school teaching, economics, performing arts and music and art.
4. others.

Well All the best for her, hope she can bring home the Crown of Miss Universe 2009.

NB: We must support her so that other countries won't take easy on us and we can show them what Indonesia can do!

How to hide Text into Picture

What is this?

• This is also called Encryption method. But this method is known as Steganography.

What is the different between Cryptography and Steganography?

• Cryptography is where the information is scrambled, while Steganography just hide the information

How to encrypt it?

1. You need to have a picture with BMP or PNG (other format cannot!)
2. Open your web browser such as IE (Internet Explorer) or Mozilla Firefox, etc.
3. Type http://utilitymill.com/utility/Steganography_Encode inside your address bar.
   
4. Click Browse and choose the Picture/Image file.
5. Inside the "Text to Hide" box, put any text you want and then click Go!
   
6. Save it to your computer.

How to decrypt it?
Basically it has the same procedure, but you might need to change the address to http://utilitymill.com/utility/Steganography_Decode

• Click Browse and select the file and then click Go!

See the output below the Go! button.

NB: In this case I'm using Text into Picture. This is quite hard to detect since if you open the picture, it's just a picture. So....... Have fun!!

Cheers!

Stupid Guy

Last Monday (June 1, 2009) I went back to my hometown from Malaysia using AirAsia.

My flight is 8.00pm, but then due to some maintenance it was delayed until 8.55pm. They said they need to change/add some air to the tire (something like that, can't remember).

Ok, after the maintenance finished, we are ready to take-off.

During the flight, some stupid or maybe idiot guy (sorry) didn't follow some rules that had been created and that rule was quite fatal. He didn't switched off his phone.

In the middle of the journey, his phone "singing" and he act as nothing happened. Everyone who sit in the first row (including me) looked at him.

After that he messaging.

What make me shocked was the stewardess and the steward do nothing to him even he/she saw it.

I was just thinking what if because of him, the plane crashed??

Budget Taxi with Premium Facilities

Last Sunday me and my friend, Davin went to Sunway Pyramid, Subang.

We've been waiting so long to get a taxi. Every taxi we stopped, they refuse to go to that area or they charge us very high.

After waiting almost 30 mins, finally there's one taxi that want to take us to Sunway. Ever since we asked the driver, something's different about the taxi. Normally we need to open the door and ask, this one he open the window (WOW!) and said OK!

Phew! Finally can get taxi.

After go inside the taxi, first thing I saw was a GPS! Wow.. That's quite rare! While I'm looking at his GPS, suddenly he switched on the music. I thought that was only a CD player, but hold on... He opened mini TV! (WEW!! >.<) I was quite shocked and start thinking "Is this really a budget taxi?"

After we reached Sunway, I asked my friend "Is that a budget taxi?" then he said "He's the owner of the taxi, not only rent the taxi". And then since that day, everytime I want to use taxi I always dreaming "hopefully I'll get the same taxi or taxi with similar facilities!" LoL

Here's the photo (sorry i can't take the GPS)
